This SSD was pulled from a recent donation to be wiped. It showed up in Parted Magic as a Samsung EVO 960 (not 870). When I went to wipe it (normally less than 2 minutes), Parted Magic indicated it was going to take over 65,000 minutes to wipe! It turns out it's a fake drive, made to look like a Samsung drive. I had a bunch of other Samsung SSDs wiping with it and yes, they all look different. This one isn't labeled Samsung anywhere (nothing on the bottom - though it looks like someone removed a sticker), but someone's gone to some length to make it look similar enough that you might miss it at first glance. Caught by software!
